Very Nice
Kajonejo
Works as advertized, great for quick math problems for my 5 year old. Only one request - even on the simplest setting the answers can be negative numbers, which is just a bit ahead of kindergarten level. In settings I would love the option to only allow positive answers. But that's a request, not a complaint. Excellent app.
Worth it if you kid is 4th grade or under!

I plan on using this as an incentive. He wants something, get a 10 out of 10. While one reviewer said you can't specify total time, you can specify the time per equation (thus ultimately a total time).
Very Nice ... would be better with more settings

This program is exactly what my 2nd Grade son needs but additional settings are required to be 100% useful. He needs to be able to add and subract the numbers 0 through 20 quickly for school. Unfortanately this program only allows setting numbers by total digits. I would love to see an upgrade that also lets you set the range (0 through 20 in our case) and also allows you to turn OFF negative number answers since that is not taught in the lower grades. Thanks and look forward to an update. Perhaps using the scroll wheel interface could be used to set the max and min numbers used in the problems.
Some small changes

First off: ""While one reviewer said you can't specify total time, you can specify the time per equation (thus ultimately a total time)." Please re-read what I stated, I didn't state that you can't specify total time, I stated that I would like to be able to customize the time per equation because I would like lower values such as 5 and 10 seconds. Some of my children's tests are 2 minutes long and 20 questions, for example, therefore they have 6 seconds to work out each equation, so 15 seconds is too long. Another small change which would be a nice enhancement would also be, along with the correct/incorrect score, if it showed the total average time it took to answer all the questions. Correction: I had the program wrong on what it is actually doing in relation to the Time Limit. I emailed palaware and found out what it is actually doing. The time is per question but it is reduced by 25% when 25% of the questions are answered, then 50%, 75%, etc. I don't understand why it was done that way but some changes I requested will be considered in an update.
Less than a buck....

This may just be the best app you could spend a buck on. Nevertheless I find it annoying that I set it to 15 sec and they reduce the time as questions are answered. I would like to be able to toggle that, more fine tune the timing (think any number of seconds), and maybe tweek the reduction schedule. Basicly, this is exactly what I wanted though.
Has potential

Purchased the software and have had it lock up my iPhone 3G several times. Sometimes after setting the prefs, sometimes after answering an equation. If they can resolve the lockups I think it would be a good program. If they have updated it and there is a delay with Apple getting the update online, I wish they would make a comment here of an update that is coming soon. It is unusable as it is right now for me.
My First Grader enjoyed it...

On his first go around. The only thing I see right now is, it would be nice to review wrong answers. Even if the screen changed colors or something to let him know this was one he had missed. He asked me when he was finished...."Which one did I get wrong?" and unfortunately I wasn't there to see him choose.
